Beat Head is a prototype platform arcade game unreleased by Atari Games. Jump on the tiles that match your color or that have your color and your opponent's color. Jump on enough to fill your spaces before your opponent fills his. Game play is very much like Q*bert.
[edit] Trivia
- Due to the game mechanic being incredibly repetitive, Beat Head was written off as a tax loss and it was believed that all copies had been destroyed, this evidently was not the case.
- The phrase 'Stella on Steroids' on the POST screen is a reference to the old Atari VCS, codenamed 'Stella'.
